Mike will do an adequate job of reviewing, The Road. It's not that complex but represents a journey from the Appalachians after an apocalyptic event involving a sophisticated, intelligent father and his son, about ten or eleven. The Father is mentoring the son in maintaining his humanity even though he may have lost hope that humanity still exists. The end portends to some realization of the struggles and hopes of the two.
It shows not survivalist intentions, but rather shows a degradation of humanity. In some respects, I see it as anti-parallel to Conrad's "Heart of Darkness."
